---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Currently, `pt_get_extra_info_descriptor_string()` uses
 `router_pick_published_address()` to retrieve our external IP address so
 that it can write it in our extra-info descriptor along with the TCP port
 that our transport listens on.

 The bad news are that `router_pick_published_address()` only returns IPv4
 addresses, and we will probably have to refactor it, or do something like
 this:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/ebf30613ea41bbed3340851e839da9b7db4351c5:/src/or/router.c#l1775
 for IPv6 addresses.

 Not sure if this can get in 0.2.4.x. I guess it depends on how quickly we
 implement it, and how complex the changes are going to be.
